Dump the whole tax system and move to a sales tax on everything but basic foods and gas.
Not like it'll ever happen, but hey--it solves a LOT of problems involved in taxing people.

I visited KU (Kansas University) for a field trip a year or two ago and took a tour of their nuclear plant. I.E. walked around the reactor itself, checked out their computer bank (not even password protected, BTW--straight electronics; anyone can walk up and start messing with it), and checked out t...

I'm lead trumpet for the advanced and jazz bands. Sorry about those recordings in the band section, they're awful. :P The strings *WILL* give you a headache after a while. Since I'm homeschooled, I play in a homeschooled band--we only practice once a week, and only for an hour per band on that one d...

I've never done public speaking before. Then, last year, I was catapulted onto the presentation team for BEST Robotics . This year, I'm on it again with my robotics team , and enjoying it. My advice: Know your subject matter very, very well, and simply talk to the audience like they're your best fri...

Mozilla Downloads the DBB
I'm having serious trouble accessing the DBB using mozilla. Every time I try to load it in mozilla it simply tries to download the index file, instead of displaying it. It didn't do this before, and it just started happening a couple days ago, but IE can still access it fine. What's up? I really don...

A bit old of a topic, but this had to be posted... A poor man has lost his job. His wife and children are starving, and he can't find another job. He's at the end of his rope. Being the devout Christian man that he is, he goes to the side of a mountain, kneels down, and prays to God to help him out ...

If you're good enough with a gun (and you should learn, even if you don't think you'll ever need to use the skill) shoot the idiot's kneecap instead of his torso. He's alive, but incapable of moving anywhere until undergoing major reconstructive surgery. Plus, you don't need a super-powered gun to d...

Ok... continuing with the thread... Why do we celebrate Christmas? And is it truly Christ's Birthday? And how did this holiday originate? Christmas is used today to celebrate the birth of Christ. Since we don't know the exact age of Christ at any one point in history, it is futile to say that any pa...

Ok... Starting with some background: There are 3 distinct types of religions that believe in the Christian concept of God. Islam comes close to these, and indeed recognizes the Christian Bible as an excellent source book for morals and teachings, but they deny Israel's role as the chosen of God in t...
